How to Use the PayPal Shopping Cart

We do not require a minimum order. You may order as much as you wish each time! 

IF YOU WANT PRIORITY SHIPPING, OR IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMER, DO NOT USE THE SHOPPING CART. Email Me with a list of items you want, your preferred shipping option, and your full name and address. I will send you a PayPal invoice for payment. 

Click here if the cart does not work at all.

1. If you have not yet signed up for PayPal, click here. Or, you may also sign up for PayPal during the ordering process if you desire. In addition, you can pay for your order using any major credit card without signing up for PayPal!
   

2. From the Vibrant Jewels Home Page, click on any link in the menu on the left. If you have difficulty using the shopping cart, or want to order large quantities of an item, please email me first. 
   

3. Under each item in our shopping cart you will see this button: . When you click on this button, the item will automatically be added to your shopping cart. You haven't purchased it as yet, you have just placed it in your shopping cart. A pop-up window should appear each time you click on the button, showing your latest addition to the shopping cart and your total with shipping. Shipping and handling are now added by PayPal as you check out.

The Shopping Cart Pop-up Window can be viewed at any time by clicking the View Cart Button . To order multiples of an item, change the quantity to the desired number in the Shopping Cart Window and then click the Update button below. (Note quantities are limited, if you need a large quantity of an item, please email me before ordering). To remove an item from your shopping cart, click in the Remove box beside that item and then click the Update button below. To Continue Shopping, click the Continue Shopping button. This will return you to the last page you shopped on, but you can go back to Vibrant Jewels home and you may navigate to another page and continue shopping. After you have finished shopping, you may also purchase USPO insurance for your package. We are not responsible for damaged or lost items if you don't purchase insurance. When you are ready to Checkout, click the Checkout Button.

4. Postage is included with each item you order, it is normally $1.00 per item unless the item is very heavy. If you purchase 5 or more items, you will be automatically upgraded to Priority Mail postage. If you purchase less than 5 items and want to upgrade to Priority Mail or add any other mailing options (delivery confirmation, express mail, etc.) please email me BEFORE ordering using the shopping cart.
   

5. If you want to purchase insurance, wait until you have finished shopping, look at the Subtotal line in the shopping cart window (the total before shipping is added), and use this amount to calculate your insurance. Click on the appropriate amount and then proceed with checkout.
   

6. After you click on the Checkout button, you will be taken to the PayPal website to complete payment arrangements for your order. If you have not signed up for PayPal as yet, you will be walked through that process as you complete your order. We will be notified of your payment by PayPal via email, and your package will be shipped within 5 business days. We will notify you of receipt of our payment. And that's all there is to it!

IF THE CART WILL NOT WORK AT ALL:

You have to have JAVA enabled in your browser to use the PayPal shopping cart. I'm not sure how you do this in AOL, and with some other ISPs,  you will need to contact customer service for instructions. 

Or quit using it and try something better - like Earthlink! :) I've been using Earthlink for about 6 years now with minimal problems. I don't think any ISP is completely error free - but Earthlink has excellent customer service and connectivity all over the country, plus you don't have to wade through all of the ads and "content" that AOL (and some of the other ISPs) provides whether you want it or not. I always start my browser with a blank page - then I can surf wherever I want without delay. If you go to Earthlink, www.earthlink.net, give them my user name, karleenp, and they'll give me a free month... possibly give you one too. They are always running some kind of special. I also think Earthlink is several dollars cheaper a month than AOL as well.
